Soundpaint has announced the release of a major update to its free instrument and analog-style sampling plugin. Version 2.5 of SoundPaint enables composers, producers and performers to play sampled instruments with more realism than before thanks to the second generation of Soundpaint’s Hyper-Acoustic Legato technology.
The update also includes numerous workflow enhancements to further shorten the time from idea to creation, including a reimagined approach to keyswitching.
“The reaction we get from every music maker who experiences Soundpaint is extraordinary,” says Soundpaint co-founder and BAFTA-winning composer Troels Folmann. “They just love how much more connected they feel to instruments. How much more expressive they are to play”
“With 2.5 we’re really opening things up for the full range of orchestral instruments – to give composers around the world that same feeling of connection, with unrivaled realism thanks to the second generation of our legato technology. We’ve also added a whole raft of workflow improvements to make using Soundpaint even faster and more intuitive, and to spark musical ideas by combining instruments in new and exciting ways.”
